Do you have a place to spend your Thanksgiving holiday?

If not, the Office of Student Services would like to match you up with other students that do not have a place to go, are too busy studying to go home, cannot afford to go home for the weekend, etc. Regardless of the reason, we would like to reimburse 20 students up to $25 each to either cook or go out to dinner together. You can get together as a whole or in small groups.

If you are interested, please contact Marie Koch, Director of Student Services and Scholarship Aid, via email at mkoch@tourolaw.edu. It’s first-come, first-served so let us know as soon as possible.

We wish you all a very happy and safe holiday!
